@princessfoo Yeah, elemental powers have been done a lot, but I’m enjoying this new spin on it.

What do you mean by cliche? There aren’t a whole lot of stories with elemental powers. I mean, I can think of a few, and even @kate-flournoy is working on something along those same lines, but everyone does it differently. Everyone visualizes–and…[Read more]

Shhhh. I’m pretending I have an actual way to claim them, and you’re messing with my mojo… @dragon-snapper

I can’t believe we’re still having this conversation…at least two of them are mine! ;p @dragon-snapper @alia

Oh, hi @cloudy! Thanks for the feedback!

The lack of contractions are something that I’m using to build Kara’s character. She is kinda refined, but that’s because…well, she has her reasons. It’s on purpose, I promise, but I’ll watch out for what you said.

About the length…I haven’t thought about the word count, or which kind of book this…[Read more]

Okay. Now I know for next time.

How’s things, Kate? All I do is ask you questions about my story. How are things goin with your WIPs and your life? 🙂 @kate-flournoy

Oh, man. Okay.

Yeah! I mean, I’m excited about it. I feel like maybe I should have waited to pick a theme until I knew the characters better. That make sense? @kate-flournoy

Hm. Yes. Okay. *writes this down*

I’m concerned about my theme. When I started the story, Intelligence vs. Ignorance sounded like a good idea, but now that I’ve planned out the characters a bit more, and now that I know them better… I’m not sure the theme would work. These characters–especially Matthias and Kara–are going to struggle with a…[Read more]

@Alia I’ll be praying! Graduations are certainly important. 🙂

Thanks! Midpoint. Yeah, that’s the word I was looking for.

Ugh…I still don’t know what to do with Blake. At this point, I’m envisioning him outside the prison, which actually isn’t where I had him at the beginning of my planning, but you know how that goes. The characters do what they want, sometimes.

Also, it makes sense when you consider…[Read more]

Me too! Any place with fantastical creatures would be a cool place to me. @princessfoo

Bye! @jane-maree

*sighs* Reaaaallly? Okay, Kate. I can promise you that I’ll try.

Actually, I take back what I said earlier. I’ve read the Hobbit all the way through, and I really like it. @kate-flournoy

Sometimes I’m not so sure haha. I ask a lot of questions…

Anyway, my WIP is still a baby…I’m working on writing the fourth chapter–or at least the skeleton–now. @jane-maree

That’s good. I’m not really to the point where I need people editing my story, yet. Although @kate-flournoy reads my current WIP as I go. @jane-maree

I haven’t actually read the books, but I’ve seen all the movies…I tried to read the books, I swear! I was younger, though, and they were kinda…long. @kate-flournoy

Ah. So…kinda like the editing before the actual editing. The preparations.

How…tedious. @jane-maree

*grins* “Sort of” editing? Hm…sounds suspicious. @jane-maree

This is one of the first forums I commented on, awww….

What is it with you people and being obsessed with LOTR? I just can’t see it…Can someone explain what the big deal is? @ethryndal @kate-flournoy @His-instrument @daeus

I’m here if anyone else is on. @kate-flournoy @jess @winter-rose @jane-maree @daeus @graciegirl

I’m going to go, too. There’s a special event goin on in my favorite Xbox game, and I…well, never mind. Bye all!
